Grants

TUN offers intramural research grants on a competitive basis and also supports and assists in research design through consulting with TUN faculty members. TUN also attempts to advise students and faculty members of external grant opportunities as they become available.

Every year, TUN offers internal grant funds to support small-scale research projects conducted by faculty members. This grant money is intended to provide seed money for acquiring preliminary data to be used in writing extramural grant applications.
